I find myself listening to internet radio more and more. Actually, my main reason for buying an iPAQ was for listening to radio over WiFi. (GSPlayer (http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/) is great for listening to ShoutCast streams.)

So... what are everyone's favourite internet radio stations? I'll list mine.


Radio Paradise (http://www.radioparadise.com/)
The best station, no contest. Very diverse range of music. I discovered a lot of new artists through this station.
Scratch (http://www.azevedo.ca/scratch/)
I'm very much into reggae and ska. This channel is only available in 24Kpbs mono, but I still love it. Doesn't seem to work right now, though. :-(
MusicOne (http://www.m1live.com/)
Dance music is a guilty pleasure. Musical equivalent of junk food.

I love rushradio (http://rushradio.org) . All Rush all the time. :) I used to use GSPlayer but have switched to MortPlayer for theextensive control of playlists. Useful for podcasts.

digitallyimported.net ain't bad ;)

I picked up a sangean internet radio for the bedside as a lot of short wave stations are going dark. I usually listen to BBC radio 7 for the comedy, BBC world service for news, XEBC for entertainment, Alex Jones for paranoia (Since Art Bell retired), "We the people" for right wing propaganda, and VOA for news. WLS but not as much since Gary Meir left the Roe Cohn show and they went to an all ad format, WABC for some political commentary, WCCO, and sometimes some San Francisco stations to remind myself that as much as I love the area they are completely wacked.

I like http://www.slacker.com/ I even have the Slacker Portable Player so I can listen to my favorite stations on the go.

I listen to the wnyc.org mp3 feed every Saturday night at 10 pm (Eastern Time - US, GMT -5) Called "The Folk Song Festival" hosted by Oscar Brand it is delightful one hour show featuring US folk music. It has been running with the same host since the mid 1940s.

http://www.radioio.com for music, it has a wide choice of genres all in one place.

The BBC stations are good (Radio 4 and Radio 7 for speech, Radio 3 for classical music). I use the Listen Again facility for time shifting (not sure if its available outside the UK though).

i like
radio nova (http://www.novaplanet.com/) ("le grand mix") for when i feel like dancing around (or alternately when i'm not very motivated to work and need something to get me going),
fip (http://www.radiofrance.fr/chaines/fip/accueil/) when i want something eclectic but overall somewhat calmer than nova,
france culture (http://www.radiofrance.fr/chaines/france-culture2/sommaire/) or france inter (http://www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/accueil/) for discussions or thematic programs,
france info (http://www.france-info.com/) for the news.

i'm going to try out all of these ones mentioned here. looks great.
